Carl Brandon Society Award Ceremony

This year, the two awards given by the Carl Brandon Society will be
awarded at Arisia. Since its inception in 1999, the Carl Brandon
Society has been working to raise awareness of racial and
ethnic diversity in the production of and audience for speculative
fiction.

The Carl Brandon Parallax Award is given to works of
speculative fiction created by a person of color. Nominees must provide
a brief statement self-identifying as a person of color; creators
unwilling to do so will not be considered for this award. This Award
includes a $1000 cash prize.

The Carl Brandon Kindred Award is given to any work of
speculative fiction dealing with issues of race and ethnicity; nominees
may be of any racial or ethnic group. This Award includes a $1000 cash
prize.

We look forward to hosting the Carl Brandon Society at Arisia this
year.
